How do you think the Attachmate deal will turn out for "Novell" Well, the marketing can't be any WORSE Better, the product/support commitment is there Worse, MS will end up with what is left of Novell’s marketshare & still end up with the patents, leaving the customer as the loser Results 86 votes \| 0 comments

Redhat's Directory Retaliation

Directory services play a vital part in today's networks by helping administrators manage network users and resources. Until recently, the only choice for deploying a secure and easy-to-use open source directory server was OpenLDAP. While it gets the job done, it lacks the polish of commercial alternatives. Now Fedora Directory Server (FDS), Red Hat's open source LDAP server, makes setting up an enterprise directory server on Linux simple.

Linux.com examines this product in Directory services made easy with Fedora Directory Server. The article does not discuss eDirectory or M$AD.

Are OpenLDAP and prjects such as FDS making NDS/eDirectory less relevant?

I don't think Redhat's FDS makes e-dir less relevant. It doesn't do everything that e-dir does and probably never will.
